Abstract: Techniques for finding and associating personal identifying information with an individual. In one embodiment, a method includes searching a database of personal identifying information held by an organization for instances of a particular item of personal identifying information of a data subject. The database may link personal identifying information to locations at which that personal identifying information is held by the organization. After a storage location with a found instance of the particular item of personal identifying information of the data subject is determined, additional personal identifying information of potential relevance to the data subject may be found at the storage location and used for further searching of the database for more personal identifying information of potential relevance to the data subject at other locations. Personal identifying information may be associated with the data subject and included in a data subject profile.
